This is a breaking news report that you will not be seeing on your nightly news program. A large chunk of the Russian population – 40 million people – are evacuating to bunkers today for a nationwide emergency drill. Are the Russians on to something? Do they know something that the rest of the world and particularly Americans don’t know about?

The recent story from Pravda tells us that Moscow, Russia is now prepared for a possible nuclear attack upon their country with enough underground bomb shelters for the entire population of the Russian capital. Telling us that 100% of the city’s population will be able to be protected as a result of new approaches to civil defense, we’re also told their bunkers are completely maintained, stocked and ready to go should they be needed due to a ‘man-made emergency or nuclear attack’.

While ‘evacuating’ 40 million people may only be a ‘drill’, we have to take a look at the massive amount of logistics involved to accomplish such maneuvers before we ask if this is really just a ‘drill’ afterall or something much, much more?

I think the question begs to be asked “Why would the Russian government run a drill involving 40 million Russian civilians (that’s nearly 28% of the entire population) evacuating to underground bunkers unless they were aware of something imminent on the horizon?” This is a massive undertaking with over 200,000 specialist rescue and recovery units, 50,000 units of equipment and every emergency and defence unit in Russia being rolled into this phenomenal exercise. I’ve certainly never heard of any such exercise of such an enormous scale being conducted in the USA.

Especially with all the recent massive tensions between the USA and Russia, the nuclear threats and the unrest in the Crimea, the Ukraine, the Syria Civil War and the Baltics with NATO, this is a situation that is certainly worthy of monitoring.

Does the American government have such provisions and preparations in place for the American people? What about Britain and Australia? The answer is no. If Russia strikes, the world is going to be in some very serious trouble that’s for sure.

I’ll be following this situation and providing the latest updates on Twitter as soon as I get them over the next 72 hours.
